The Red Deer Food Bank is a vital community resource supporting individuals and families across Red Deer and central Alberta who are struggling to access enough healthy food. Each year, we serve over 30,500 people, 40% of whom are children, while demand continues to rise as more households face the pressures of increasing costs and economic uncertainty.
We provide more than just food. Through our market-style Food Hub, and programs like Kitchen 49 and Garden 49, we are creating a more dignified, community-centered approach to food support. One that reduces waste, improves access to nutritious food, and meets people where they are.
At the same time, we are working to address the root causes of food insecurity by connecting individuals to essential supports such as social work services, tax clinics, and community resources.
With the support of our community, we are not only helping people get through today, we are building a stronger, more food-secure tomorrow.
